After 3 years of serving as a back-up to Roch Hontas, Nickie Hall began the 1980 season as the Tulane Green Wave's starting quarterback. He went on to set the Tulane single-season record for touchdown passes with 21. Against Rice, he threw 5 touchdowns with 4 of them going to wide receiver Robert Griffin. Against SMU, Hall threw for 347 yards and 3 touchdowns. Tallying 2,561 passing yards and a respectable 7-4 team record for the season, Hall drew enough attention to himself to be selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 1981 NFL Draft.
